                    <description>K  After a long but beautiful journey up into the mountains we reached the final destination of our time travelling  the former capital of the Inca empire Cusco. We took a taxi into the historical centre and checked into a house converted into mini apartments just up from the Plaza de Armas. We met Senora Elena  the housekeeper and mother in law of the Dutch owner who didnt speak a wor</description>

                    <description>K  After an 8 hour journey up the Chilean coast we enter the Atacama Desert and arrive in the pretty town of La Serenaand check into our great little hostel El Punto. We spent a few days here and spent time exploring the streets and eating out in cafes. On one day we decided to walk to the beach via a Japanese garden which was very pretty but not at all tranquil thanks to its location next to a</description>

                    <description>CHILEK  After a surprisingly enjoyable 12 hour flight across the pacific we arrived in Santiago  Chile looked dry barren and sunny but you could see the gigantic snowcapped Andes in the distance which was pretty cool. We made our way into town and the tiredness kicked in. Due to time zones we were living the 27th Feb twice as well as gaining 7 hours T  You only live twice Mr Bondor </description>

After a 30 minute drive we arrive in our first destination  the small village of Renwick just outside Blenheim and right slap bang in the middle of the Marlborough wine region. We hire bikes and armed with</description>

                    <description>FIJIK  On our last night in Sydney we bump into one of my aunts neighbours who tells us Oh I heard there was a coup in Fiji but I guess if theres a coup theyll probably look after the tourists. Slightly fazed by this Tom decided to check the FO website who helpfully informs us that the neighbour was confused with Papua New Guinea but whilst there is no risk of such a coup Fi</description>

                    <description>T  The world famous Whitsundays would have to wait for another visit sometime way off in the future as the grey and black clouds gathered and broke over Airlie Beach and stayed there for two days with no signs of packing up or moving on. Our wallets were significantly lighter after our big tour of Fraser Island and so it seemed that nature and fiscal reality was telling us yachting through t</description>

Large lush valleys and thousands of trees surrounded by distant mountains and hills.

Having family here we were picked up by my aunt and cousin whose apartment we would be gratefully invading for the next week. During the following few days we ad</description>

                    <description>Back on BaliK  So after a lovely week in the Gillis we decided we needed to push on and see some more of Bali so we took a ferry back to Padangbai harbour. We jumped on a tourist bus that was just leaving and few hours later we arrived in a village called Amed in the north east of Bali. Bali is pretty small but the roads are not main ones and go out through the mountains so that everywhere takes</description>

Upon hearing our travel plans one such chap rocked on his heels took a swig of his champagne and remarked that theres a reason Kuta rhymes with gutter. That catchy and ominous phrase has stuck with me for over five months a</description>

                    <description>T  Two gauntfaced and sweaty backpackers have just boarded the super cheap Penang passenger ferry that sits next to Butterworths bus terminal which sounds like a brand of mints youd find in someones car. Its another steaming day made even more steam heavy by the burning temperature of my forehead and Kirans waterfall of a runny nose. We flop into the wooden seats in the centre</description>

                    <description>K  So after a lovely week in Phnom Penh we pushed north to the sleepy town of Battambang. Things did not start well as we boarded the bus at the start of the 5 hour journey  not only was this the most disgusting bus in Cambodia but some locals had decided to sit in our seats. I was not amused and held my own ignoring their waving for us to sit at the back of the bus apart from each other an</description>

                    <description>K  We arrived at Saigons domestic airport ready for our flight out to Phu Quoc island  Tom and I were both craving the beach and were promised a tropical paradise.  Saigon airport was a bit of a time warp having been used the airbase during the war in the 60s and 70s which was interesting to see. Our flight with Vietnam airlines was only 20 quid each and as we flew over the submerged Mekong</description>

Dalat is meant to be a really interesting hilltop town loved by honeymooners and famed for Frenchcolonial villas etc. Lush mountains waterfalls birds in the trees herds of wilder beast have you read this before Its about 1470</description>
